QuickChexx: Art Scott, 1480 WMQM Memphis | April 11, 1973
From Contributor Rob Grayson, here’s the final installment of our series of Memphis radio from 1973. WMQM at 1480 AM was a fulltime Country station – a station that specialized, apparently, in older Country music, judging by the songs heard on this short aircheck. There’s just over two minutes of this scope featuring Art Scott,…
Mitch Craig, 68 WMPS Memphis | Spring, 1973
“From the Gateway to Mid-America!…” The WMPS Top hour legal ID says it all. A Broadcast service of Plough, Incorporated, WMPS put up stiff competition to RKO General’s 56 WHBQ and for a while they even seemed to trade jocks! Mitch Craig is heard doing Afternoons. This is short and much of it was scoped…
Donnie Brooks, 68 WMPS Memphis | Spring, 1973
It’s a Friday night at “Super 68” and Donnie Brooks is at the controls of Plough’s superstation! WMPS is doing its best to imitate Chicago’s WLS, and by the sounds of this aircheck, it’s working. Note the WLS type jingles, such as the cut “The Rock of the River“, set to the tune of WLS’…
George Klein, 56 WHBQ Memphis | Spring, 1973
George Klein, by 1973, was known nationally, and internationally, as Elvis Presley’s best friend. Aside from allegations of payola that circled around Kline, he never was directly accused. And this is good. One of the most influential Memphis Jocks and programmers in the 60s/70s, Klein certainly had his connections in Graceland. And he spent lots…
Chris Curtis, 56 WHBQ Memphis | Spring, 1973
Contributor Rob Grayson has digitized more of his tape collection. This is from the first of six sent in this week. Rob writes: “More goodies… these were recorded all on the same day in Spring of 1973, and I think I got them from Memphis DJ Don Roberts (Barney Raines), straight off the radio. You…
Memphis Mark Billingsly, 105.9 WGKX Memphis| 1994
New Contributor Kevin McCardle says, ” I have a scoped aircheck from February 1994 for WGKX-FM (Kix 106)Memphis with Memphis Mark Billingsley. I recorded it onto cassette tape when I lived in Bartlett, TN at that time. I recently transferred it to my computer .mp3 file and it sounds great!” Memphis Mark certainly has been…
QuickChexx: Garner Miller, 95.3 WEBL Coldwater (Memphis) MS | September 1, 2013
Short as it is, this is the final demo scope of Garner Miller. An incredibly talented jock, and as this demo shows, a very talented commercial and sweeper producer. This aircheck was obtained by our friend Matt Seinberg, owner of Big Apple Airchecks. I’m not sure who gave Matt this, but he and I put…
Garner Miller, 99.7 WMC-FM Memphis | June 11, 2006
Well, after three attempts to write the description for this aircheck, perhaps your webmaster will get it right. This recording is probably the best way to celebrate the life of Garner Miller. It is the first of many we’ve obtained, and it certainly won’t be the last one we post. You’ll notice right off the…
